Activate a Time-Based Automation

Goal

To activate a time-based automation.

Background Information​

A time-based automation is automatically executed at a scheduled date and time. The schedule is defined in the ​Schedule Time-based Automation​ window (see Schedule Time-Based Automation (window)​).

Automations must be activated as well as saved. Only activated automations are executed by the system. For more information, see ​Activate a Time-Based Automation​.

Activation changes the status of an automation to:

• ​Active, Scheduled​ if the automation has never been executed before or if the automation is scheduled to execute only one time.

• ​Active, Running​ if the automation has been executed at least once.

Procedure

1. In the ​Main Navigation​, click ​Automation​s > Automations.
   ⇒ The ​Time-based Automations Overview​ window opens.

2. Select the checkbox of the desired automation.

3. Click the ​Activate​ button.
   ⇒ The automation now has the status ​Active, Scheduled​ or ​Active, Running​.
